Want to brew a dark wheat...

...But I was planning on pitching on top of an ale yeast cake that is currently in primary for an Irish Red. I know it won't be a true dunkelweizen, but I was just wondering if anyone else has tried this?

Wort + Yeast = Beer, I made a dunkle off a yeast cake from a moose head clone, used the cry havoc strain from white labs. I really like that yeast. Turned out great, but I over carbed it. The bottles that didn't turn into bomb where way to fizzy. The ones I had just as it was starting to carbonate were delecious though

And what exactly is the problem with this plan that you are imagining?

Just go for it!

Oh, I'm doing it. I was just wondering if anyone has had success with it. I made an American Wheat with WLP Cal Ale Yeast and it turned out awesome. We'll see how it works out.

I just recently made a REALLY good partial-grain dunkel. The recipe is on my recipe page at

it's very very good. The only thing you might want to adjust is the hops level if you're more of a hop-head.

I've made a dark American wheat that was very good. It's not a BJCP style but the GABF list it.
